I notice that every EVE Online forum post generally follows the same pattern.
For example, many posters were once concerned about the cancellation of the alliance tournament, generating posts with such redeeming content as, "“CCP is trash they dont even do the alliance tournament anymore grrr hat CCP”. CCP listened to these tears and decided to bring the alliance tournament back, generating similar complaints, “CCP is trash they think the alliance tournament will solve anything this is not what we needed right now grrrr hat CCP.”
Obviously, with such a wonderful community, it’s a total waste of time to take the forums seriously, hence the decision by basically everyone at CCP to avoid any discussion in the forums. Therefore, in order to simplify and automate the process of forum ranting, I present the following guide to simulating your post. You can follow my flowchart to see exactly how your post will proceed.

Topic: “my great idea/open letter”
Response: “lol ok tldr thanks for sharing didn’t read too long next time use punctuation in before the lock! looooool zkill”
That’s right Destiny, this is a “great idea/open letter” post, you have correctly applied the flowcart in order to simulate the normal course of this thread!
lol, ok.
tldr
thanks for sharing.

Bows low Once again, you have demonstrated your infinitely superior and majestic intellect, Ô Princess. None can even dream to ever attain your level of magnificence, Your Majesty. Bows low
That right. A modern solution would be to introduce a bot to run through this tiresome posting process freeing players from the drudgery of such pointless points.
I’m not sure I completely understand what you find pointless.
But if it’s the process of posting a post for you, then yes. A bot can do that. I’m sure a bot trained on the conversation patterns within these forums will sound totally sane… yes yes.

Surprised that this is not locked because it falls afoul of three of these. But if the ISD are happy with it, I guess that is fine then.
I suspect your interpretation of what qualifies as those three, whatever they are, is far more all-encompassing than ISD standards or the average player expectations.
Btw, I kinda appreciate you coming into this thread and just responding like a human.
I know, this is going to “confirm” the “bias” that “some” people continuously bring up.
However, I honestly find it refreshing that you came in here and poked some fun as well, instead of the ISD’s just being this bot army of copy-pasting the rules before locking threads.
